Suspend: Audio/Video resume playback anomalies after wake-up

Sebastian

In general, I expect audio/video files/streams playing in the moment of suspension to resume playback on wake-up. However, this is not always the case.
Here are my observations:

• playing local video file with mpv/celluloid: all fine. Playback resumes on wake-up.
• streaming Youtube videos with Brave browser: no resume on wake-up. You have to click play again on youtube to continue playback.
• playing local audio file with Museeks music player: no resume after wake-up. You have to click play again in Museeks to continue playback.
• playing local audio file with Rhythmbox: all fine. Playback resumes on wake-up.
• playing internet radio stream with Rhythmbox: no resume on wake-up. (internal data stream error) You have to click play again in Rhythmbox to continue playback.
• playing internet radio stream with audacious: no resume after wake-up. You have to click play again in Audacious to continue playback.

most annoyingly:
• playing local audio file with audacious: Playback continues on wake-up, but no sound output! Not even after toggling play/pause/stop. Audacious sound output starts working again only after you have played another/same audio or video file with another player like Rhythmbox, celluloid...

I suspect all the streams not resuming playback has to do with no internet connection available right away and no sufficient buffer. Anything we can do about that?
And foremost, what about the other cases? Should not in all of theses cases playback just continue after wake-up?

I am on Solus Gnome.

Sebastian I think it depends on how the behavior is implemented in applications themselves. So this strictly isn't a Solus-specific thing.

the only thing that suprises me is Museeks. playing a file stored on your hard drive in an app installed on your hard drive is mostly successful.
question could be is what is celluloid and half of rythmbox doing or not doing that all the others apps are not doing or doing? (settings/advanced settings)?
But for all the rest you deduced LAN being disabled. But what disables the apps from resume?
So many variables it seems like. I don't even count Brave/youtube as part of this problem, apples/oranges to me.
You likely have enough Swap.
There's about 2 threads recently about LAN disconnection/disable with the suspend thing. I've read them. Don't remember if they were solved or unresolved. Do a search. You might be able to eliminate variables with the extra info.

brent Yeah, the Museeks issue is a total mystery to me, too. I thought that all processes just continue on wake-up were they were before suspend.

even occured to me in some wild hunch that most of the apps probably have a 'fetch metadata'/ telemetry port (in app settings) already established and open...no, I cannot say what that means exactly. maybe nothing.
